Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0008378A1] Printing apparatus comprising a flat, substantially horizontal, guide portion (30a) on which the document to be printed is initially placed by an operator, a curved guide portion (30C) over which the operator pushes the document, and a final vertical guide portion (30b) providing the back wall of a vertical passage (A) across which a print head (20) traverses for the purpose of printing on the document as it moves upwardly through the vertical passage (A). Drive rolls (40,42) are provided in the vertical passage (A) just above the line of traverse of the print head (20) for first continuously pulling the document upwardly through the passage once it has been manually pushed to this point and then incrementing the document upwardly through the machine and in the vertical passage (A) for each of the lines of print provided by the print head (20). A keyboard (38) is provided for entering data to be printed and the casing is apertured at (66) to enable the operator to see the print station along line of sight (68) Sensors (50,52,54,56) control the drive motor of the rolls (40,42).
